This is a short film about how my mother become the owner of a motorcycle. It highlights the lives of my grandfathers and how I was inspired by them to connect to their lives with a motorcycle.

I shot as much as the film in 70mm to achieve a flat look. I knew the sound of my motorcycle and the foley were going to be important so I didn’t use my on-board audio recorder.
